1. It Looks Like Its More Of The Same
As Ive said, this was the biggest problem of The Hangover 2 and it currently looks to be the same for Part 3. The trailers not giving much away but we know that there will be scenes set in Las Vegas, that Mr Chow, Jade, and Black Doug will all return, and that theres a scene involving wacky antics with an exotic animal. Plus the organised crime elements of the sequels plot seem to be getting a re-airing and Alans long term abuse of Roofies is said to be a key plot point, leading him to being put in a mental institution. The films director Todd Philips has publicly said that the amnesiac hangover story of the first two films wont be used here but despite this, it kind of looks like the film theyve produced is borrowing a large amount from the first two films. Whether well be seeing repeated gags like Stu having some kind of dalliance with a prostitute and reused plot points like something stupid Alan says later becoming crucial to the films resolution remains to be seen but it currently looks like a fair bit will be taken from the first two films. Which is what killed the second film and has the potential to kill this one. Obviously, I could be completely wrong about all of this and The Hangover 3 might be an absolute cracker. Im perfectly willing to withhold my final judgment until I see the film in its entirety but on the evidence weve got so far, its not looking good. Still, only time will tell. Come on, Warner Bros, surprise me.
